Error 1603 while installing Visual Studios for Hololens Development - windows

I am trying to develop apps for Hololens
After setup of Visual studios 2015 runs and gets completed, With a yellow triangle representing error it states, setup complete. However, not all features installed correctly.
Tools for Universal Windows App(1.4.1) and Windows SDK(10.0.14393)
The installer Failed. Fatal error during installation. Error code:1603
I have tried to reinstall visual studios community 2015, same error comes. I also tried to uninstall separately Windows SDK 10.0.014393.33 and run the VS setup again, it doesn't help as well.

I would recommend uninstalling visual studio, update Windows to the latest version, redownload the visual studio installer, disable antivirus and try again. If that doesn't work, Microsoft has a whole forum dedicated to troubleshooting VS install issues at:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?forum=vssetup
You are almost certain to get a better response there.

Can't install Visual Studio 2015 Community

I'll get straight to the point here.
I've been having loads of problems installing Visual Studio 2015 Community recently. I previously had Visual Studio 2012, but decided to uninstall it and install 2015 since I've started using 2015 at college.
Originally I was using Windows 7 Professional when I was having the issues, but it persists with Windows 10. The exact issue is that when I try to install Visual Studio, it progresses a little bit and then stops at "Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 x86 Debug Runtime - 14.0.24210" and then doesn't progress past that. It will keep installing that for as long as I let it, and when I try to stop the download, it will not close and I will have to restart my PC. See here:

I contacted Microsoft support, which, I have to say, is appalling, and they recommended that I try to install it after performing a clean boot. I did that, and it seemed to be working, but I got multiple other errors. See here:
2
As I need this programme to help with college work, you can see how this would be a huge inconvenience for me, and since Microsoft support is so terrible, I decided to come here to ask for help.
So, would you please help me figure this out?
Refer to the log file, I found the error message 'The older version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 x86 Debug Runtime - 14.0.24210 cannot be removed', you can have a try with the following to troubleshot this issue:
Make sure run the installer as administrator.
Go to Control Panel—Programs and Features and if you can find any versions of Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable, right-click and repair. After that, re-run the VS installer as administrator to repair. If not works, uninstall the installed Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable versions and re-run the VS installer again.
You can also use the MsiInv tool: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/astebner/2005/07/01/using-msiinv-to-gather-information-about-what-is-installed-on-a-computer/ to obtain all Windows Installer products, features and components that Windows Installer thinks are installed on your computer, then manually uninstall the Visual C++ 2015 x86 Debug Runtime - 14.0.24210 by running msiexec /x command. After that, re-run the VS installer as administrator.
Download the Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable from https://www.microsoft.com/en-sg/download/details.aspx?id=48145 and install it, then re-run the VS installer to repair.

Visual Studio installer won't go past splash screen

I have visual studio 2013 ultimate installed and recently uninstalled visual studio 2015 community, to upgrade to enterprise 2015.
I had trouble uninstalling 2015, but eventually running the setup and choosing for repair/uninstall did the job. This didn't work for 2013 so I haven't been able to uninstall 2013 yet.
Anyhow, when I try to install enterprise I just get the splash screen for a few seconds, and then it disappears and nothing happens. Which was also the case when I tried to uninstall either visual studio versions earlier.
Why is visual studio such a pain to install/uninstall and how do I solve it?
Thanks!
I got this error I could see the splash screen then it dissapeared and the executable just continued running in the background but no GUI was shown.
A full uinstall and reinstall did not solve the issue.
I solved it by completely removing all the registry settings for Visual Studio 2015 that can be found under:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio
Remove all subdirectories with 14 in them:
Now when restarting you get to log into your MSDN account and the GUI starts working after that.

Error when installing Visual Studio 2015 Tools for Unity 5.3.1f1

I have both Unity 5.3.1f1 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Community edition properly installed and running (I've been using them separately for a while now). However, now that I try to install Visual Studio 2015 Tools for Unity, the installation process crashes giving me the following error:
"Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Tools for Unity Setup Wizard ended
prematurely because of an error. Your system has not been modified. To
install this program at a later time, run Setup Wizard again. Click
the Finish button to exit the Setup Wizard".
Of course, I already restarted my computer. I even uninstalled Visual Studio and Unity and then installed them again (that is really painful by the way). Nothing changes.
Can anyone help me on? I don't even know how to get support for something on the boundary like the Visual Studio Tools for Unity.
Here is a screen capture of the error:
From unity 5.2 and up i guess you don't need Visual Studio Tools for Unity as Unity from version 5.2 has native support for Visual Studio (same applies on 5.3.1f1).
i use Unity and visual studio with the tools
a link that can be helpful on what i said:
Native support for VSTU 2.1 in Unity 5.2

Visual Studio Installation Failing

Previously I have Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate version in my system. Its is working fine.
Later I am trying to install 2013 also but it is not installing properly and giving error message like attached image.After that VS2012 also is not working properly. Then I tried to Install Vs2012 also again. But this installation process also giving same error. I can not able to upload image due to reputation.
This is the exact error:
"Visual Studio Core Fetures Fatal error during installing.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Core Libraries Package failed.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Microsoft Foundation Class Library Package failes."
Please help me to install visual studio 2012 & 2013.
Because Visual Studio requires many components to be installed, and if they are not, VS will install them. However, when you uninstall VS, it will not remove these components automatically because it does not record which component is installed by it and which exists before VS is installed. Other applications might need these components to work.
When you uninstall VS2012, you really only remove VS itself. Then you try to install VS2013 and meet an error, and that may be the problem. To make things worse, you did not clean uninstall VS2013 either, which caused the later errors when you try to reinstall VS2012.
You may as well try to clean uninstall VS 2012 and the same goes for VS 2013, just some Google work.
I hope this will help you a little.
